IMovie 5.0.2 - titles across screen for entire length of movie?

Is there any way to have a title on screen for the entire length of a movie (vs. the 4.20 seconds or so IMovie allows)?

Mask slowly migrates across screen for no apparent reason

I am putting together scrolling credits but I don't want the text to start and end at the top/bottom edges of the screen. Instead I am trying to place a mask in the center of the screen so that the text enters and exits the scroll from within the screen. When I add an image mask it looks fine on the first frame, but 10 seconds later the mask has migrated 100+ pixels and the four corners of the rectangle have distorted. I have not added any behaviors to the mask nor are there any keyframes. From what I can see, there is nothing causing it to move, and yet it does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try placing your text layer in a group and mask the group instead.
Are you using a camera in your project? Or 3D? There are other things in Motion that can cause the appearance of movement and distortion besides behaviors and keyframing.

Flashing image for entire length of video

I am trying o make a movie for my mom. The video itself has no audio, but we have placed music from different artists on top of it. My problem is that when I got to export or share it, the video plays for about thirty seconds then freezes on a frame of my uncle opening a present. The image then starts to flash in different colors, but continues to play the music as we placed it for the next hour and a half.
If you have any suggestions, please help.
I forgot,I'm running ilife 08 on snow leopard.

How to "hold" a title across several seconds of video?

Hi -- I'm using Imovie '08 (ver. 7.1.4) on my MacBook pro. And I'm having a problem with titles. I'd be grateful for any insights.
1a) I was able to edit a short video (30 seconds) that I made, but am
unable to have a title (1/3 down the page) that "stays" on each frame for the last 5 seconds. The title only appears as a quick blip and then disappears.
I can't see anyway in Imovie to keep the title across each frame.
1b) Perhaps if I were able to replicate a still with the title (since it's going to be the last thing in the video) for 5 seconds, that would also be useful. I want to take the last image of a section of video of imovie and extend it. Can this be done? If so, how?
Thanks for your time,

Just to experiment, I tried inserting a title card with the text I wanted at the end of the short video.
Therein, I experienced the same problem I originally had: which is the title on the title card would "fade out" so the screen text would "dissolve" just as the title I added earlier would dissolve at the end.
See, what I'd like to do is leave the view with a screen that has a website and other textual info. But it seems to disappear no matter what I tried to do.
I was able, however, to get the title to appear across the clip by manipulating the bar as you suggested. It's just that last split second that I can't get.

Why does my title text stay on screen for the duration of my iMovie?

Adding a title text to my iMovie, can someone help me figure out why it stays on screen for the duration of the video? Can't seem to find a way to edit the duration of the text.

The flashing globe icon means you are trying to start from a netboot server that doesn't exist or is offline. This will fix it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31355

Titles don't scroll across screen anymore

On my new 30 GB iPod, the song titles scrolled across screen during playback but after I did a restore they now only appear static and are truncated if to long for the display screen. I rstored because I mistakenly thought there was a problem with the iPod when I tried to use it attached to my work computer - firewall issues. I can't find a configuration to enable that "feature"...

I'd like to see this change as well.. I sent in a request through the iPhone feedback form.
I understand the difficulty in trying to implement this though.. since track selection is a one step process on the iPhone (tap) versus a two step process on the iPod (wheel-select then exectute), you'd have to have all the long titles scrolling at the same time, which would look rather chaotic.
Maybe it could be done on the iPhone by having the title scroll if you tap-hold on the title.

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.

TS3274 Am getting an opaque strip across the bottom of screen for the last two days.....how can I get rid of this?

Am getting an opaque strip about 1inch wide across bottom of home screen for the last two days. How can I clear this please?

Have you maybe removed all the apps from the dock? the dock is the strip that remains constant and shows the apps that you place there across all sprinboard pages.

Hello all my 1.5 yr old imac has a screen getting drk from lower lft corner annd is creeping across screen apple care ended i paid 3500 for this machine and im a graphic designer pls help

hello so i am a coolege student who saved for a decked out 27 inch imac for graphic design this was my first apple purchase ever 3500 bucks and the screen is slowly going b dark on lower left side to half way across screen i am broke and apple care is out is this really how long an apple lasts i cant get any help at all anyone know what to do or since jobs is gone is apple just garbage now? anyone anyone

I'd ask Apple to honor your expired apple care as this is a known issue with the 27" imac. I had the same problem with mine.
And no... typically, macs last a long time. I have a mac book pro and an old swivel display; both are still working great. This seems to be a lots issue of bad parts.

Anyway to "UN" Ken Burns stills globally or as default bringing in jpeg's? New to iMovie. I have 3 titles that build. First is logo, add prod't name second line, add date 3rd line. They shift when dissolving between them. Title function NG for this.

The people at the Apple store gave me a long, tedious workaround which is open Pages and bring in logo. Export it as a PDF. Open the PDF in Review and then "Save As" a jpg to the desktop and drag and drop into the imovie. Even with this process, the text will sometimes shift. When it works, it looks good, the logo comes up, then the second line fades in under it as part of the build and then the third line completes the graphic. It would something this easy and straight forward would be easy.

I did the work around for the titles/jpg's in this short video.
I'll try your fix on the next one. I have 22 short 3-5 minute videos to produce
and I'm on number 5. This should save me a bunch of time.
It would appear that you know more than the guy at the Apple Store.
Thank goodness for on-line forums.
I already tried fixing them individually as you suggested,
by going the crop/fit route. However, even then,
the second in the series had always shifted.
The first and the third images lined up, but not number 2..
So I brought in all the images, (1, 2 and 3).
and then the 2nd image again and put it in the third position
in the sequence on the time line. I deleted the "original" 2nd image.
So I had 1, 3, then 2. Then I dragged and dropped the correct number two
into position two and it worked. So what happens is that the
client logo appears, then that stays put and the next line dissolves in
and then the third dissolves in. They are three separate titles, but they
are aligned perfectly so that they build as I dissolve between them.
I think the problem with the edit copy route would be that while
I could edit/copy the logo, I couldn't position text through the
iMovie text function exactly as it only gives you middle or bottom third etc.
Each title with the product name is positioned individually depending on
length and number of lines. By going through Pages, I can position the logo
and the text exactly. Also, some logos are horizontal, while others
are square etc., so text positioning is crucial.Anyhow,
I'll try the global approach for the next one and see how that works.
Thanks very much for your insight and especially for your prompt reply.
I trust you're inside on this gorgeous July 4th because you're
making money on your computer. ;-)HarveyVOn 7/4/2011 3:57 PM, Apple Support Communities Updates wrote:

How to make the title of screen dynamic in ABAP.

Hi experts,
I want to make the title of screen dynamic like:-
--> i have an initial screen in which program takes some input files..and having a screen title as "INPUT FILE" with a read button.

-- > Now after clicking on this write button this file gets write in to SAP system here i want my screen title as"WRITTEN FILE".
Please help me and tell me the way to do it.
Regards,
Depque.

Hi.
Ypu should use a flag as soon as someone clic on the button, in order to keep a value.
Then in PBO Module you should ask for the value of this flag
if w_flag = abap_true ('X')
set tittlebar number01.
else.
set titlebar number02.
endif.
Please let us to know if this could help you.

Gabriela

My iPhone 3G phone button no longer works. If I push it I get a black screen for a few seconds then back to the home screen. Everything else is ok. Any ideas how to fix this?

The phone button on my iPhone 3G no longer works. Everything else on the iPhone works fine. I can receive incoming calls. I can make calls directly from Contacts. But if I press the phone button I get a blank white screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I've tried the hard reset and also restoring orignall settings via iTunes but keep getting the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you, Neil.

Thanks for the advice but I've tried resetting network settings and also the reset by pressing home and sleep buttons until getting the Apple logo. Still have the same problem. To be clear (because I mistakenly typed black instead of blank in the title to this thread): If I press the phone button I get a BLANK WHITE screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I doubt it's the SIM card as I can receive calls and make them directly from contacts. What I can't do is view my favourite numbers or missed calls or access my voicemail, i.e. all the things you get to via pressing the phone button.

Hi nedler1,
Please try the following steps to display the cover sheet and replace it with custom one:
How to change a portfolio’s initial view setting to show the cover sheet (and hide the contents):
Open a PDF portfolio and run the following JS in the console:
this.collection.initialView = 'Hidden';
Save the portfolio, close and re-open.
The cover sheet will now be displayed when opening the portfolio.
Updating the cover sheet
Also, most likely if you want the coversheet displayed when opening the portfolio, and do not want the default cover sheet:
Here are the steps to replace the default cover sheet:
Open the Portfolio.
Perform a View > Portfolio > cover sheet to open the cover sheet.
Open the Pages panel for the cover sheet.
Right click on the cover sheet page in the pages panel, select “Replace Pages”.
Replace the cover sheet page with the desired cover from a page in another pdf.
Save the portfolio.
